Inner Bloom

A six-week summer circle for adolescent girls

There is a particular kind of loneliness that can come with growing up…

…the feeling that your body is changing, that your emotions are complex, or that you are becoming someone new.

In many cultures, this passage was held and witnessed. In our current world, those threshold moments often go unmarked.

This circle is for that.

We’ll meet outside, walk, gather by the fire, and follow what's alive through honest conversation.

Ages: Best for girls age 10-14 years old

Date and Times: Wednesdays, July 8, 15, 22, 29, August 5, 12. 6-8pm

Location: Fire Mountain, Oceanside + nearby beaches

Dana Nielsen, LMFT is the founder of Wild Woman Therapy. She is also mama to a spunky and sensitive young boy, and a student of the nature’s sacred cycles.

She weaves together clinical expertise, embodied wisdom, and deep reverence for the rhythms of life to hold space for girls stepping into their becoming.

Soleia Lafaye is a Psychology student working towards licensure as a therapist. She supports Dana in community outreach efforts serving women and teens.

Her approach to healing is rooted in the interconnected relationship between mind, body, and the natural world. Drawing from her experience with mindfulness, parts work, and her nature-based therapy, she guides folks toward a gentler pace, one that invites them back to themselves.

  • Voice — finding it, exploring it, asserting it

  • Boundaries — as relational, a way to love yourself and others

  • Cycles — your body's rhythms as information

  • Self-trust — the kind that’s built over time through small, regular acts

  • Belonging - a way of being in right relationship with yourself and others

  • Becoming — marking your own threshold

We’ll move through themes that are alive right now, in your life, in your body:
